As the tip says, popular wordlists don't work. With this knowledge we can assume that rockyou.txt wouldn't work. A popular place to look for password wordlists is Seclists, the biggest wordlist in the repository is xato-net-10-million-passwords.txt. Let's try to crack with that!
echo '$1$CSDCTF$9VCUkEcQqzqz/sg1aYAbM.' > hash && hashcat -m 500 hash /Users/vipin/tech/CTFs/wordlists/xato-net-10-million-passwords.txt
And from that we get the password $1$CSDCTF$9VCUkEcQqzqz/sg1aYAbM.:zaq8xsw5cde3
. After wrapping with csd{}, you get the flag.
Flag: csd{zaq8xsw5cde3}
